What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the curriculum is new. This means the school does not yet know how successful it is in supporting pupils to build their knowledge in some wider curriculum subjects. The trust needs to ensure that the wider curriculum is fully and effectively implemented so that pupils build their knowledge well.
